264 The Transcendence and Greatness of the Almighty
I
Everything of this world swiftly changes with the Almighty’s thoughts
and beneath His eyes,
swiftly changes with the Almighty’s thoughts and beneath His eyes.
Things mankind has never heard of arrive all of a sudden,
whereas things that mankind has long possessed unknowingly slip away.
No one can fathom the Almighty’s whereabouts,
no one can fathom the Almighty’s whereabouts,
much less can anyone sense
the transcendence and greatness of the Almighty’s life force.
He’s transcendent in that He can perceive what humans cannot,
He can perceive what humans cannot.
He’s great in that He is the One who is forsaken by mankind
and yet brings salvation to mankind.
II
He knows the meaning of life and death;
what’s more, He knows the laws of existence
that created mankind should follow,
that created mankind should follow.
He is the foundation of human existence,
He’s the Redeemer who resurrects mankind again.
He weighs down happy hearts with sorrow
and lifts up sorrowful hearts with happiness,
all for the sake of His work,
and for the sake of His plan, for the sake of His plan.
